Didn't do much writing. The scene I did revise now sounds way too over-the-top um--humanitarian isn't quite the right word. More like putting up a billboard saying IMPORTANT MESSAGE HERE. NOTICE IT. So, subtlety would be nice, if I could figure out how to do it. That's what I'm starting to worry about now, is if it's way too obviously paralleling a few issues in society today. I mean, good fiction does that anyway, but it might be getting too obvious. Arrrgggh.
Since I haven't read said scene, I may be off the mark: but that's where SHOWING how people are acting/feeling and what they're doing REALLY pays off, cause the reader is left to draw their own conclusions. If they miss the hint, but you've done your job right, oh well. Sucks to be them.
